Using an online inflation calculator, $2,400 in 1940 dollars is the equivalent of $39,862 in 2013 dollars. Wow.

Login quotes Jack Strayer in ER May 1993 noting that RCA "borrowed" the top engineers from 17 companies to design the radio series resulting in what Strayer noted as a radio that is a "design engineer's dream come true."
